Mysore State

 ( 1947 Establishments In India ) 

Mysore State, colloquially Old Mysore, was a political territory within the Dominion of India and the subsequent India from 1947 until 1956. The state was formed by renaming the Kingdom of Mysore, and Bangalore replaced Mysore as the state's capital when Parliament passed the States Reorganisation Act in 1956. Mysore State was considerably enlarged when it became a linguistically homogeneous Kannada language-speaking state within the Republic of India by incorporating territories from Andhra State, Bombay State, Coorg State, Hyderabad, and Madras State States, as well as other petty fiefdoms, It was subsequently renamed Karnataka in 1973.

History The Kingdom of Mysore was one of the three largest in British Raj. Upon India's independence from Britain in 1947, Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar signed the instrument of accession, incorporating his realm with the Union of India, on 15 August 1947. The territories of the erstwhile princely state of Mysore were then reconstituted into a state within the Union.

Reorganisation In 1956, the Government of India effected a comprehensive re-organisation of provincial boundaries, based upon the principle of shared language. As a result of the States Reorganisation Act on 1 November 1956, the Kannada-speaking districts of Belgaum district (exclusing Chandgad), Bijapur, Dharwad district, and Uttara Kannada were transferred from Bombay State to Mysore. South Canara was transferred from Madras State; and Koppal district, Raichur district, Kalaburagi and from Hyderabad. Also, the small Coorg State was merged, becoming a district in Mysore.
